Parker 75 Section

[usk15]

I have bought a P75 Sterling Silver set last year, from a local antique shop, but the FP section is broken. My query is where to get a section, or if anybody has a spare one to sell? I had a look on usual Ebay, and some other sites, but no luck.

I had it for sale on the classified, but I might keep it if I can fix the pen.

There is also a section for sale on ebay at the moment, possibly a later model.

I see, thank you! Now I need to find out if mine is MK3.

I think it may be earlier although I am not sure. The question is are they interchangeable

eta, the feeds are totally different for one very important thing.

Thank you, I still have to check what type of section I need.

It seems that both option from UK are out. The sections are MK3, and will accept only broad feed called MK2. That makes my feed MK1...


I had a look at pentooling, but the part price+postage ia close enough to hunt for a whole pen in UK. Anyway, thank you very much Carlos for the link!

So keep looking now.

I just had a big revelation: I need only the section's collar....

After looking more carefully, I realized that the collar is threaded so I simply take it off. The section is in good condition, and a collar replacement is available on EBay.
The collar is acting like Parker's 51 section ring to stop the pen in the cap's clutch. I'm weighing my options now....


Have a look here, is this going to work?

PS: I have soaked the pen, pictures tomorrow.

You have a chip in the section - you can see the collector where it has come off of the section. If you just stick the ring on, I think it'll leak. If you fill it with epoxy and then stick the ring on, it still might leak, though maybe not right away. I would go for a replacement section.

Thank you Ron for your reply!

I had a better look, and I did not see any other cracks, the ones from picture seems to be from the broken collar. This is the best photos I could taken at 11:30PM:

Was your ring gold or white metal?
